Cheap Date Ideas

Want to take a special someone out on a date but just don’t have enough money to do it? Need to plan a cheap date?

Don’t want to be a cheapskate with inexpensive date ideas?

Relax … the key is to use your imagination. Forget the usual (and mostly boring) dinner and a movie scenario, and start thinking: companionship, romance and fun.

Your focus should be on how well you connect, how you reveal yourself to each other and if that “spark” between you is growing into something deeper.

When planning a cheap date, consider the following:

• - stay away from the typical date routine,
• - focus on strengthening your bond,
• - place yourself in unconventional situations and get to know the real you,
• - have fun.











Suggestions for cheap date ideas:


Eat Chinese food in the park – this is a wonderful way to spend an evening in the park, watching the stars and enjoying each other’s company.



Family gatherings - this is the perfect place to go to for an excellent home cooked meal, love, laughter and unconditional acceptance. (if you don’t belong to the Adams family)

Massage – create a romantic setting with soft music and candles and spoil each other with a stress melting massage.

Look at show houses – go and look at out-of-your-league-dream-houses and dream about how your life can be if….

Window shopping – visit expensive furnisher-stores to pick beautiful furnishings for your maybe-one-day-dream-house.

Go for a long leisurely walk– take a walk together in your local park or suburb and spend the time enjoying the scenery and a good conversation.

Walk in the rain – jump in the puddles, singing and dancing in the rain …

Flower give-away – buy a bunch of flowers and hand the flowers (one by one) to strangers on the street. Enjoy the reactions you will get.

Museum – visit the museums in your area and educate yourself on the richness of the history of your forbearers.

Poetry readings – attending a poetry reading at your local library/book club can be an incredibly romantic experience.

Play paparazzi – take your camera’s and follow each other around town, taking lots of photo’s to be put in an album at a later stage.

Bird watching – borrow a book guide on birding from your library and spend an afternoon studying the birds in your area.
